The JackJumpers’ offense is expected to continue its dominance, with key contributor David Johnson predicted to make at least three three-pointers.

Tasmania JackJumpers vs Adelaide 36ers NBL27 Expert Tips


Tasmania JackJumpers are on a three-game winning streak and the value to extend that. Tassie have posted 109 and 122 in the last two wins and that attacking threat can see them cover a -3.5 line against Adelaide 36ers. 

  • Tasmania have won three consecutive games and are 4-1 against the line.
  • The JackJumpers are averaging 99.6 points per game, third in the NBL.
  • Adelaide rank last in scoring at 88.0 points per game.
  • David Johnson has made 3+ threes in three of five games this season.

Head to Head


Tasmania lead the all-time series 10-5 and have won four of the past six meetings. 

The JackJumpers also won the most recent clash 80-72 in Adelaide in January, while the 36ers have lost four of their past five visits to MyState Bank Arena.

Tasmania JackJumpers Form


Tasmania have climbed to 4-1 after three consecutive victories, most recently producing a franchise-record 122 points in a 122-112 road win over Illawarra.

Josh Bannan led the way with 25 points and seven rebounds, while David Johnson added 32 points, including five three-pointers. 

The JackJumpers scored 67 points in the first half and maintained their advantage despite Illawarra's late comeback.

Tasmania are now averaging 99.6 points per game and shooting 49.4% from the field, ranking second in both field-goal and three-point percentage. 

Their defence has been less convincing, allowing 95.4 points per game, but their offensive production has been enough to overcome those shortcomings.

Adelaide 36ers Form


Adelaide improved to 3-4 with an impressive 84-78 upset victory over the previously unbeaten Sydney Kings on Sunday, snapping a three-game losing streak.

John Jenkins contributed 20 points, while Nick Rakocevic added 16 points and nine rebounds. The 36ers shot 17-of-50 from three, compared with Sydney's 8-of-28, and did enough defensively to secure an important road victory.

Despite that result, Adelaide remain the NBL's lowest-scoring team at 88.0 points per game. Their defence is allowing 91.1 points per contest, but opponents are shooting 49.7% from the field, leaving the 36ers vulnerable against Tasmania's efficient offence.
